My Annoyance

 

Here we live in the ambiguity of Christianity and Modern Secularism. 

Well, that’s at least where I live. Here in the good ol’ 2,500 populated city of Martinsville IL. Where the grand station is a gas station and the characteristics of socializing are very dogmatic. Everyone has to say, “Howdy.” It is as if you enjoy talking to some of the most self conceited people that you have ever met. Could there be anything worse than this typical Midwest stereotype?  

With my own tone of thinking and contemplation I would have to say that there is something more annoying. It relates to all of the living generations in the Midwest. Whether you are from the GI Generation, Baby Boomers, and even my own Millennial Generation there is something sad to say. All of these generations are either corrupted within their Neoplatonic Christianity, self egocentricism, or both (usually both).

This uneducated society is dismissing the reality of what “earth” really is. We cannot tell her what to do, but all of our actions will, and do, affect her. We only care enough to harm her with our own infections of pollution. We tend to forget that our lives can only be lived within her living. I cannot say that all of this is happening because of people’s own forgetfulness or because of their uneducated status. People are forgetting to care about earth because they do not care about the next generation. Grandparents do not care about our parents, parents do not care about us, and too often we do not care about our future children. 

We only care to live within our own Dogmatics of ignorance and platonic thinking of flying away to heaven. Whether you are a Christian or not you merely need to open up your eyes to perceive the necessity of caring for this earth.

For Christians:
I’m sorry, but we’re not going to fly away anywhere. The presumption of an unending spiritual heaven is probably one of the most unbiblical dogmatics of Christianity. You most likely will need to remove your own platonic ideology and pursuit within the text.
God is going to renew this earth, and the first command that he gave us was to take care of it. It was a commandment before the fall and it is a role that He is expecting us to participate in. So yes! Get out of your recliner, stop condemning other people (aka, homosexuals), and live as a follower of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Live a real life that exalts the Divine.

For Postmodern Secularists:
Overall I must say that you are doing a great job, a lot better than those Platonic Christians. With your mentality you understand that the only essence for living is on this earth. When I look at you in Europe I am astounded. With your panentheistic mentality you are doing a great job. The only thing that we’ll need to do now is remove the self pride from the secularists in the Midwest. 

Pictures!
I thought it would be interesting to see how much trash my parents fit into the trashcan. I was curious to see how much of it would be recyclable. I came to the realization that in only a few days there was A LOT in the trash can that could be recycled. There was so much that I just decided to take it out. Out of the two trashcans (in only a few days) I was able to take out almost everything. Yes, with everything being recyclable and not polluting the world that I live in, that my children will live in, and etc. 

Note: Before you put something into the recycling box you are suppose to rinse it. That is why it is in the sink drying.



This is only part of it. Mostly only the plastic. Not paper, cardboard, thin plastic, etc.

 
We have a bin for stuff like this behind the garage. Obviously no one has really been using it.

I will just say this, be careful when you paint with a wide brush. If I was a Christian in Martinsville and I read this (and presumably you wish for your brothers and sisters to improve in their behavior and mindset) I would not want to listen to you because of the blatant venom that I see. Remember not to isolate those that God may call you to minister to.

And I feel as though i must say one more thing. The earth is very important to take care of.....but not at the expense of the soul of others. We must take care of the world as best as we can and Christ will restore it to what it should be eventually. Christ is the only essence for living, this is the foremost teaching from our Father.

God be with you.

Usually when I use the term Christian I an referring to people like you and even myself. You know the whores and prostitutes, the ones that make the church. Quite often I continue to come to the realization that I (myself) will create ideas as absolute truths within my own Neoplatonic (and even with Stoic) presuppositions. I guess that what I am trying to say is that the "firm" Christians (like you) is that we have to take our own actions. People here (Berlin) and people in the East Coast degrade the Christian faith needs to be challenged to place in all actions.

Ex: There was a German person, in the US, that was taught, in her German highschool, that all Americans are the good moralized Christian people (you know, with that "weird" religion). She came to the US and she saw how "un-Christian" these people really were. Sex, drugs, anger, etc.

To make a long story short there was a quick conversation about recycling. She made a joke about the American Christian mentality of "going off to outer space." Why care for the earth if we get to fly away? I added in the pantheistic perspective because that is what she is. When it came to recycling she had some good comments.

So yes, an agnostic pantheistic inspired me to write this.

well, what she said is what inspired me to write the things that I wrote. There was something else that had actually convinced me to write about it, when I did.
